Cisco Nexus support?

Bryan,

I can respond to this.  We are working closely with the Nexus group on providing more complete support for the Nexus platform.  With 9.5, we performed some testing where we found gaps from an NPM stand point, including as you pointed out, CPU and we provided that data back to Cisco and are working with them on a solution.

As per Cisco's MIB details, the Nexxus supports CISCO-PROCESS-MIB which is the same MIB used for regular Cisco CPU.  The CISCO-PROCESS-MIB.my wasn't updated since 2007. It's the same OID [1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.109].  Is the problem more related to the device modelisation i.e. NPM does not recognized the Nexus devices?

We're looking at adding Nexus 7000 to our NPM and I'm getting contradicting information from Cisco for the CPU MIB Support.  And frankly I don't think you guys at Solarwinds are making this up.  Is it because the cpmCPUTotal don't work?

CISCO-PROCESS-MIB cpmCPUTotal5sec.1
CISCO-PROCESS-MIB cpmCPUTotal1min.1
CISCO-PROCESS-MIB cpmCPUTotal5min.1
CISCO-PROCESS-MIB cpmCPUTotal5secRev.1
CISCO-PROCESS-MIB cpmCPUTotal1minRev.1
CISCO-PROCESS-MIB cpmCPUTotal5minRev.1
CISCO-PROCESS-MIB cpmCPUMonInterval.1

Brandon...what do you think is the best way to fix this?  UnDP for CPU?  Or do you think you'll have this worked out with Cisco soon?  I'll need to manage a bunch of Nexus 7000s in the next 2 weeks.

BB

Temp, yes that will be the best way.  We are actively working with Cisco to get this taken care of and working out of the box.

Has anyone created UnDP for Nexus support?  If so can you upload them to the Content Exchange?  Thanks!

BB

Brandon I'm sure your aware that out of the box Orion shows all the buffer miss data as -2 and no cpu data.

BB

Yep, aware of that.  Still working with Cisco on Nexus items, as I have more info to share I will post

I spent quite and effort setting custom pollers for a major project just to find out that the NEXUS gear does not support the MIBS and have not been successful in finding mibs to correct the issue.

So the MIB link posted above by PSI are not giving you what you are looking for?  What were you attempting to poll, CPU and Memory as the others in this post?

With UnDP I have been unable to get anything to work.  I get OID not supported.
